Many developing countries still have a significant quantity of land available that is well adapted to rain-fed crops – about as much as now is being farmed (over 1.7 billion acres). These lands do not include areas inhabited by human beings, forests, or protected areas.
If a country can produce and export biofuels, it will have a stronger economy and more resources to address the needs of the poor.
Africa, with its significant sugar cane/Cassava production potential, is often cited as a region that could profit from experience and technology, although obstacles to realizing it (infrastructure, institutional, etc.) should not be underestimated.

Smart Food is food that fulfills all the criteria of being-GOOD FOR YOU, GOOD...ICRISAT
Smart Food crops are highly nutritious and targeting some of the largest micro nutrient deficiencies and needs, especially of women and children. Pearl millet has very high levels and bioavailability studies have shown that they will provide the average person’s daily requirement of iron and zinc. Smart Food allows us to have Sustainable Diets ie diets with low environmental impacts which contribute to food and nutrition security.

It is a technique of growing crops like barley without use of chemicals and artificial growth agents(soil).
It is characterized by short growth period with around 7-10 days and need of a small piece of land for production (Mooney J, 2005). And has extraordinary protein, vitamins, fibres and mineral contents with their healthy beneficial effects on animals.
Therefore, this technology is an important agricultural technique currently used in many countries (Tudor G. et al., 2005).
BIOFORTIFICATION OF STAPLE CROPS: PROVITAMIN A CASSAVA AS A CASE STUDYCosmos Onyiba
Biofortification refers to micronutrient enrichment of staple crops through plant breeding, to address the negative economic and health consequences of vitamin and mineral deficiencies in humans. It is the process of increasing the bioavailable micronutrient density of staple crops through conventional plant breeding and modern biotechnology to achieve a measurable and positive impact on human health.. Currently, agronomic, conventional, and transgenic biofortification are three common approaches. Progress has been made in breeding orange sweetpotato, provitamin A maize, provitamin A cassava, high zinc rice and high zinc wheat, and high iron beans and high iron pearl millet via conventional breeding. Transgenic biofortification is used when genetic variability for vitamin and mineral targets is too low to meet the desired target levels, or for crops that are very difficult to breed, such as banana. The biofortification of cassava with Provitamin A (beta-carotene) was achieved through pure line and hybrid seed technology as well as genetic engineering. The provitamin A carotenoid in biofortified cassava is primarily β-carotene. In white cassava, there may be trace amounts of β-carotene, which may be present in concentrations as low as 1 mg/g fresh weigh or 3 mg/g dry weigh. Due to the instability of beta-carotene, cooking and processing methods can affect the retention of β-carotene in cassava leading to decrease bioavailability and bioefficacy.
The welfare impacts of rising quinoa prices: evidence from PeruCIAT
Riding on a wave of Western interest in "superfoods," quinoa–a grain that has been grown for centuries in the Andes–has gone in less than a decade from being largely unknown outside of Latin America to an upper-class staple in the US and Western Europe. Concurrent with this increased demand for quinoa, there has been a sharp rise in the price of quinoa over the last 10 years. We study the impacts of rising quinoa prices on the welfare of households in Peru. Using 10 years of a nationally representative, large-scale household survey, we combine pseudo-panel and difference-in-differences methods to estimate the relationship between quinoa production and household consumption. We find that conditional on baseline values, quinoa production is associated with higher consumption and lower variance of consumption expenditures, indicating that the production of quinoa has both first- and second-order positive effects on household welfare.

Alternative zu nudeln & kartoffeln quinoaTopTheWeb
Quinoa ist ein glutenfreies und basisches Nahrungsmittel, das sich in den vergangenen Jahren zu einem Trendsetter in der heimischen Küche entwickelt hat. Und das mit Recht, denn der südamerikanische Samen weist einen hohen Gehalt an Nährstoffen und Proteinen auf. Dazu gehören essentielle Aminosäuren, die der Körper nicht selbst bilden kann. So ist das vielfach kombinierbare Nahrungsmittel eine leckere und gesunde Alternative, die den täglichen Speiseplan bereichert.
Quinoa - Die glutenfreie Weizen-AlternativeTopTheWeb
Die ideale Alternative zu Weizen heißt Quinoa. Die Samen der Quinoapflanze erinnern an Getreide. Allerdinsg gehört Quinoa nicht zu den Getreidearten. Die Pflanze ist besonders widerstandsfähig, ausdauernd und robust, sie strotzt so gut wie allen Witterungsverhältnissen. Und ebenso viel Power heben die Samen unter der Haube. Quinoa ist reich an Vitaminen und essentiellen Aminosäuren. Quinoa ist außerdem basisch und ein großer Pluspunkt - Quinoa ist frei von Gluten.

Production of Nutritional Bars with Different Proportions of Oat Flour and Br...asclepiuspdfs
Background: Nutritional bar has been paid special attention, then quickly developed and present in some parts of the world as it contains high nutritional value, quick energy release on required demanding basis, especially the form of this food is very mobile and neatly light. Nutritional bars are nutritional products which contain cereals and other high energy-rich ingredients. They are becoming trendy food products in the world in these days. They can be used as the nutritional meal, meal replacement, or snack which provides a lot of essential nutrients for people who lack the time or resources for extensive meal planning due to its convenience.
Jumping off the artisanal breads trend, ancient grains like spelt, kamut and amaranth are now a hot commodity due to their interesting flavors and array of nutrients.

1. It’s the year of Quinoa!

2. Quinoa
• The United Nations (UN) has declared 2013 as the
International Year of the Quinoa (IYQ).
• Objective: To raise awareness of how quinoa can provide
nutritional benefits, increase food security, and help
eradicate poverty around the world.
• Additionally, it can easily adapt to different ecologies,
making it easy to grow in all forms of weather and land
conditions.
3. Quinoa
• Quinoa is considered a superfood.
• Protein content is very high (14% by mass), yet not as high as
most beans and legumes.
• Quinoa's protein content per 100 calories is higher than brown
rice, potatoes, barley and millet, but is less than wild rice and
oats.
• Nutritional evaluations of quinoa indicate that it is a source of
complete protein. Furthermore, it is a good source of dietary
fiber and phosphorus and is high in magnesium and iron.
• Quinoa is gluten-free and considered easy to digest.
4. Quinoa
Surprisingly, because of
all these characteristics,
quinoa is being
considered a possible
crop in NASA's
Controlled Ecological
Life Support System for
long-duration human
occupied spaceflights.
5. Quinoa
HOWEVER:
• Quinoa was important to the diet of pre-
Columbian Andean civilizations.
• It has become increasingly popular in the
United States, Europe, China and Japan where
the crop is not typically grown, increasing crop
value.
• It is NOT a Lebanese staple food.
